    This shit is uniquely evil. Like, you could write a sci-fi distopian novel best seller about how bad some of this shit is and 8th graders would be forced to read it.

    The U.S. admission followed a June 14 Reuters investigation that revealed how the Pentagon launched a secret psychological operation to discredit Chinese vaccines and other COVID aid in 2020 and 2021, at the height of the pandemic. As a result of the Reuters investigation, the Philippine Senate Foreign Relations Committee launched a hearing into the matter and sought a response from the U.S.

    According to the June 25 document, Pentagon officials concluded its anti-vax campaign was “misaligned with our priorities.” It says the U.S. military told Filipino officials that operatives “ceased COVID-related messaging related to COVID-19 origins and COVID-19 vaccines in August 2021.”

    … so Trump?

    I imagine Biden had a lot of fires to put out once he became President in January 2021, but it would have been nice if this scheme ended sooner.

The expose itself on this issue confirms that it was much larger than just this alone, the anti-mask psyops likely never stopped, and Biden gave this same company HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS MORE TO KEEP DOING THIS.

      The fire isn’t put out. It’s burning in your balls, bone marrow, and meninges. You either have the virus fucking with you and causing chronic immune activation or are getting infected until you do.

      edit: unless you stop catching it as much, which you can kinda do at any time despite the government encouraging spread

      … so Trump?

      It wouldn’t surprise me if Trump wasn’t even in the loop. The US military-intelligence-propaganda-industrial complex does shenanigans like this on the regular. The deep state is real, it’s just not anything like what far-right grifters say it is.
